"To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”
~ Elliot Erwitt

World Bird Wednesday: Black Swan

Black Swans are found throughout Australia with the exception of Cape York Peninsula, and are more common in the south. The Black Swan has been introduced into several countries, including New Zealand, where it is now common, and is a vagrant to New Guinea.

I was lucky to see a black swan family in London, (why is London now up everywhere for me :) ) Not sure of the park now..Anyways, they were amazing, couldn't believe my eyes! Thank you for reminding me!

I'm amazed that your friend let you get close enough to take these photos--can't believe the detail you've captured. I did have to smile though--were you getting a warning from those ruffled feathers? Saw some white swans in England and was told that they could be vicious if they were swimming with their babies.
